Carlton A. Funn, Sr.

Educator / Historian

Carlton A. Funn Sr., a native Alexandrian, is well known for developing his own curriculum, one which recognized African American achievements and history, after being confronted with the dated and racially offensive Virginia history textbook to be used in teaching his seventh-grade class in the ACPS in 1957. In 1998, Funn received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the National Council of Negro Women.
